Caelian: I think you'll need to enlarge the photo a tad. MSPaint or photoshop is what I use.

Kevin, just I tried. I do not see any of them now and I do not like to see them again.

I have these all over my petunias. I've been searching the internet for identification for over a week. The majority of them are on the under side of the leaves. They are so small that I can't even take a picture of them.

Are they doing something harmful to your plants? Sometimes it is not easy to find the identity of the insects.

The one I found has gone, just it used my plant as a transit lounge

Now I got a bit better pictures, my hedge is infested with these insects but I have not seen them in my container plants. The color of these insects is slightly green cream color, the body is not very soft, harder than a mosquito. It moves very fast and almost like jump.

The time for hedge trimming coming and I am worry about all these insects. The hedge has no sign of any damage. I would like to get some information about these insects are they harmful to my chili, cabbage and tomato plants? I do not think they are whitefly, I saw some pictures of it in Google, but I am not sure and I do not have much experiences on insect identities.

Thanks in advance.

Caelian, now THAT'S a picture we can work with! Your insect is one of the many species of leafhoppers and they can be a pest of many of our crops.

Do a Google Images search and you might be able to spot your critter. It sure looks like the very common Potato Leafhopper, a pest of many different kinds of plants.

Yes - leafhopper.
They are so annoying this season!

Rhizo and LKZZ thank you for the feedback and the link. Yes THAT's leafhoppers. My problems is how to eradicate them all because my hedge is so dense and I saw a lot of them there. My container plants are not very far from the hedge. If I trimmed the hedge their next nest would be my container plants.

Any tips to destroy them will be very much appreciated.
